In the 70's I attended a local parish with my family. My mother taught the Beatitudes on Sunday to ten year olds. They discussed them and then created projects to express them in the community. I was an altar boy, sang in the Christmas choir, and was a Sunday school teacher to a class of third graders, which included my youngest sister. The church ceremonies were always on the boring side. I would count the tiles in the ceiling. But it was great to see all my neighbors and friends and to talk with the Priest on the way out to the parking lot.

I live in PR and find your blog illuminating, daring and very bold. I like it. I hope if you ever find yourself in the caribbean you let me know. I would like to email you however I could not find a way to do so.

My brother introduced me to the buddhist path and I have so many questions, so hard to find someone here to help clarify the noise. I don't know maybe you know someone here who can assist a lonely soul trying to walk this path to enlightenment. Someone to share with. So if you are ever able to answer, I would like your feedback.

In the meantime may you blessed and may you continue to grow and help others to release the chains and find their own paths to enlightenment.
